When discussing the situation with Ralph, Piggy insists, “’It was an accident’ said Piggy suddenly, ‘that’s what it was. An accident.’… ‘Coming in the dark- he hadn’t no business crawling like that out of the dark. He was batty. He asked for it.’ He gesticulated widely again. ‘It was an accident.’” (157).
I find it very difficult to keep myself strong, watching young men around my age falling on top of each other. Tears rolled down my eyes as I watch stray bullets fly pas me and strike into the skulls of others. At times, I wish a bullet would have already claimed my life before this whole nightmare
This begins to frighten her so bad that her knees get weak; she does not know where to begin to look for the snake. Walking to her clothes, she hears the snake in her basket. Immediately she takes the lamp with the last match in it and runs to the kitchen in straight fear of the snake. After running, she finds out that the match blue out and she got frustrated because Sykes took the rest of the matches. Now the whole house is dark.
Name Teacher Course Date Morality in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat” Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat” suggests a lack of morals from both Delia and Sykes.

In line one and two Wilbur uses concrete diction and visual imagery to describe how the occurrence of this frog being dead all happened, "chewed and clipped of a leg" bring out the gore in this homicide of this animal in the "garden" leading the speaker to respond in disgust towards the mower. The first line shows chaos beginning by bringing in this gas powered vehicle into "the garden verge...[that] sanctuaried him" in a peaceful place. In line four, connotation is exercised with "cineraria" leaves, cineraria also referring to the place for keeping ashes; saying the place where this toad lies is his where he falls and becomes his tomb. As the stanza goes on it talks of "heartshapen leaves, in a dim, [l]ow, and final glade" the leaves are to reference the love of nature that the toad represents by living out his day "with a hobbling hop."

Literally, this is exactly how the word meant to be – a body of water passing through a hole. With constant usage however, largely by Christian settles, the word evolved into its present contracted form, “Sominot”. Indeed, to a nature lover the sight is wonderful to behold – a creek idly winding its way down only to disappear abruptly as it sucked into a bottomless pit. About 300 meters away from where it plummeted, the water emerges again to continue its trek seaward to Tukuran.
Therefore, the snake can represent Delia’s protector, sin, death, or devil but it most certainly is a mirrored reflection of Sykes. Sykes routinely shows his lack of respect for Delia. One morning Delia, sorting laundry and wondering where Sykes has gone with her horse, becomes paralyzed by fear when suddenly something “long, round, limp, and black falls upon her shoulders and slithers to the floor beside her.” Again Delia is reminded of what a malicious man Sykes can be. He uses a bullwhip to scare her; she believes it is a snake. Delia

It had this awful smell like rotting flesh so the leader suddenly got worried. Finally opening the box, she stood for a while just staring at the petrifying mess before her.
